Navigating expectations relating to money
Navigating expectations relating to finances remains a hot topic in the dating scene, with some walking into relationships with certain expectations.
Content creator and makeup artist Carey Priscilla is among those who have weighed in on the matter, advising people to have the discussion on finances early enough, setting the third date as the appropriate time to have the conversation.
“If you make it to the third date, talk about money. “And not just how much you earn but how you spend, save and plan. Because who you date can make you rich or poor,” Priscilla stated on January 22, 2026.

“Next month your boyfriend will be gifting his real girlfriend,” Nyaboke wrote in what was a savage reality check that resonated with her followers on social media, who are in touch with the realities of dating and the challenges that come with it.
She prescribed self-gifting as a form of appreciation to avoid disappointment when huge expectations meet reality and end up in disappointment.
“Point is, learn to just gift yourself so that you don’t get disappointments,” Nyaboke stated, jokingly adding that she is single and ready to exchange gifts with anyone interested and stage a fake show of love.
“Nani ako single tujifanye tunapendana Valentine’s Day anipee zawadi (Who is single so that we may pretend to be lovers on Valentine’s Day for me to receive a gift)?” She concluded.
